From the videos, it looks like it could be very useful. However, it doesn't seem to work on my system; it just gets stuck forever on a page that says "Connecting socket" and never finishes loading.

Yes, but how many of them have new content for the game (as opposed to advice, anecdotes, history etc) that was created specifically for this issue (as opposed to a book that was later canceled)? Either zero or one, depending how the Unearthed Arcana looks.

Is this still available in any form? The links on your site just take me back to the top of the page, they don't download anything.

This, this, a thousand times this. The delve format is fantastic for boxed sets, but becomes cumbersome if you insist on presenting an adventure as a single book. I was going to skim the thread and make that suggestion if someone else didn't, it's nice to see that someone did within the first...

That was... kind of depressing, actually. Didn't think I'd ever sympathize with those two d-bags, but I'm with Roy; they were nowhere near bad enough to deserve this.

I'd be very sad to see the news page go. I don't post that often but I've been a reader of this site in its various forms since 1999 and it was the 3E news of that early era that first brought me here. But, if I'm honest with myself, I'd be sad about this for reasons of nostalgia, not because I...

Morrus, of course, means the 4E versions (which, given your reference to DDI, is probably what you're interested in). The 3.5 versions of the entire saga have long since been written and are available in places like rpg.net. They're only being released to ENWorld subscribers as the 4E ones...

Well, parts 1 through 9 at the moment (both the 3.5 and 4E versions), and eventually the whole thing.

I think that was right as of the 1E PH. I mostly remember playing that they could be any alignment except LG, but I don't know when or even if that became the official rule.

I'd like some form of Epic-level support, a book that provides _____ Power type support for the Runepriest and Seeker along with maybe some new builds for other classes (especially Warpriest domains), and more revisions of monsters, especially "classic" ones, that were underpowered in the first...

I'm not sure what you mean by "logic". Logic is a set of principles for making sure you don't come to false conclusions from true premises. By itself, it is completely neutral on which rules are better. Common sense, which it sounds like you might actually have in mind, does not suggest that...

Exactly. Pace Aegeri, this is not "extremely debatable". As he himself said, it's only an interrupt if it has to be in order to function. Variable resistance still does something, and it happens to be something fairly interesting IMO, if it's not an interrupt, so it isn't. The standard isn't...

This is pretty much the impression I had. The MV is my #1 most wanted D&D product at the moment and the only reason I haven't bought it already is the possibility that I might get it for Christmas; that sounds much better for tokens (granted, very few PC-suitable ones, but I've got my own much...

My brother-in-law and I were at a bookstore today and found ourselves looking at Essentials products while waiting for my sister, and I found myself wondering aloud if there was any real point to getting the DM's kit. For a new DM coming off the Red Box I can imagine there would be, but I don't...

No-one said they should be able to take out (non-Minion) enemies in one hit. They said that, by operating as a team and focusing fire, they should be able to take out enemies in one round. Usually, you want to gang up on one enemy at a time until it's dead, preferably the one that does the most...

Well, yes. Which is precisely why even very patient folks like Merric are reaching the end of their rope (especially given that the new CB has so far been a step backwards in this process).

Truename's summary is very good. I would only add a little to this point: Also, feats are retooled quite a bit in HoFL. Basically, Heroic tier characters get a manageable number of feat choices that are all more straightforward and attractive than the majority of previous 4E feats. About half...

Well, first off, there's seven of them. Most aren't particularly optimized, only two of the seven are even vaguely optimizers and one of those is playing a bard, but there are some good stats in there. I'm actually disinclined to change things up much because, going into the second adventure...

I didn't mention speed factors because I did occasionally see those used, both to break initiative ties in 1E and for their more extensive intended use in 2E. Most people I know of first- or second-hand eventually decided they were unfair and/or too cumbersome and dropped them, but I've seen...

I don't think it's as clear-cut as all that. For example, no-one used the 1E initiative system as written; it's labyrinthine, much more complex than any comparable mechanic in 4E. A long time ago there was a whole big thread on it here and eventually a Word document several pages long was...
